Abstract

    Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) is a highly contagious viral illness that predominantly affects cloven-hoofed animals. To identify and profile the predominant FMDV serotypes circulating in Baluchistan bovine and buffalo populations. Twenty tissue samples were collected and analyzed using sandwich indirect ELISA and RT-PCR to identify the presence and genetic characteristics of FMD virus. We identifie... Details

Abstract

    The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of corn and wheat on broiler liver health. Hundred one-day-old birds were divided into two groups. A standard diet was fed to Group I while corn (50%) with new wheat (50%) was fed to Group II. Blood samples were collected from five birds from each group on the 21st and 35th days to determine serum ALT, TAC, and TOS levels. ALT levels did no... Details

Abstract

    The primary goal of this research is to investigate the interaction between information communication technology and health facilities. To achieve this goal, the panel data set is used from 1971 to 2020 from Pakistan's perspective. The study used pooled OLS, fixed effect estimates, and random effect approaches in its analysis. ICT is a broad topic, thus we quantified it using fixed broadband and f... Details
